Create a BigMailer contact from an Adafruit IO event
When an event includes a customer or operator address, add their record without interrupting your triage flow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Contact
Creates a contact within a brand, with optional list membership and subscription status.
Why this helps
Contact details included in device reports can get lost when they live in a separate alert or log.
- Create a contact from event data when an email address is present.
- Keep device-related follow-up details in BigMailer.
- Avoid retyping contact information from alert payloads.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Adafruit IO and BigMailer once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to create a BigMailer contact from the incoming event only when it contains a valid address and appropriate permission to contact.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real event that includes a contact address.
Questions about this workflow
What information must the event provide?
It must include a valid email address. Any other contact details should be supplied in the webhook payload.
Should every device event create a contact?
No. Ask Notis to create one only when the person should be contacted and the event provides the necessary details.
